Thessaloniki | Greece 8 – 16 September | HELEXPO

Pavilion 13 – Stand 28

The contribution of TIF-HELEXPO is reflected not only in its exhibition performance, but also in the growth of the Greek economy. In recent decades, the Greek economy has been consistently supported and aided by TIF-HELEXPO, not only at the level of exhibitions, but also through the numerous investment and commercial transactions held during or behind the scenes of its events.

How the glass is built

The panel is a laminate: an active layer carried between sheets of architectural glass, sealed at the edges and mounted in the same profiles a greenhouse or facade already uses. Nothing about the installation asks the builder to learn a new trade, which matters more for adoption than any laboratory figure.

Transparency is the design parameter that everything else follows from. A pane that passes most of the visible light leaves the crop unaffected but generates modestly; one that passes less produces more current and starts to shade. The specification is chosen per project, against the crop and the latitude it will grow at.
